Glastonbury helicopter charter takes you from Battersea to Somerset in about 45 to 55 minutes. The festival is taking a break in 2026, and its next edition runs from Wednesday 23 to Sunday 27 June 2027. Because the festival is so popular, an early plan matters, and a helicopter avoids the long road queues.
Why choose Glastonbury helicopter charter
Worthy Farm at Pilton lies about 92 nautical miles west of London. The festival’s own website says tickets for 2027 have sold out, with a resale of returned tickets in spring 2027. A helicopter does not replace a ticket, so please check that you have one before you book.
The airspace around the site is normally restricted during the festival, and the festival’s own pages do not say that helicopters may land there. Therefore, we plan arrivals at approved landing sites nearby and never promise a landing at the festival itself. We confirm the exact arrangements for your date before you pay.
How the flight to Glastonbury works
You depart from the London Heliport in Battersea. The flight typically takes 45 to 55 minutes, depending on the helicopter, the routing and the wind. The heliport normally opens from 07:30 to 19:30 on weekdays and from 08:00 to 18:00 at weekends and bank holidays. It can open from 07:00 to 23:00 by prior arrangement. Please arrive 10 minutes before departure.
- To arrange Glastonbury helicopter charter, tell us your date, your group size and whether you want a return flight.
- We identify an approved landing site and agree the onward transfer. Every landing is subject to landing permission and site suitability.
- You then receive one clear price, with a plan B agreed in advance.
If the flight is cancelled because of the weather, you pay nothing. For the full picture, read our guide to helicopter charter and the weather.
